Friendships are one of life’s sweetest gifts, but they’re always evolving. 💛 Lately, this has been on my heart as I navigate a big shift—my dear friend, my neighbor, my go-to for last-minute eggs (even in this market! 🥚), is moving away. While our friendship isn’t ending, it will change, and that’s got me thinking… why do friendships shift, and how do we navigate it with grace instead of resistance?

Today, we’re diving into the three pillars that shape our connections—proximity, timing, and energy—and how to nurture friendships, whether near or far. Because adult friendships take effort, and if we cling too tightly to what was, we risk missing out on what can be.

The good news? Shifts don’t mean the end. Friendships can stretch, evolve, and even come back around when the timing is right. So here’s your challenge: send the text, plan the coffee date, or check in with that friend on your heart. Because friendships don’t just happen—we have to show up for them. Let’s dive in! 🎙️✨
